After choosing a house, I went to the Guards Barracks to complete the formalities.

Only then did Ma Biao discover something that made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Generally speaking, the number of marquis's soldiers is between twenty or thirty.

It's not that the court is reluctant to give people, but there is no need to give too much. Those who look after the home and the courtyard are enough.

The public security in Luoyang is very good, and there are constant patrols on the streets. If something happens in any corner of Luoyang City, the Imperial Guard will arrive in almost five minutes.

What this means is that from the time this incident occurred, the Guards would not arrive at the scene for more than five minutes.

And on some key roads and areas, the patrols of the Imperial Guard are even more intense.

Almost the next patrol can see the end of the previous patrol.

How can such a level of protection require so many soldiers?

If you need to leave the city, the Imperial Guard has a guard camp. You can directly send someone with a warrant to go to the guard camp to complete the procedures, and then you can directly mobilize the corresponding troops.

The configuration of these non-military generals' personal soldiers is different from the configuration of military generals' personal soldiers.

Basically, an army general can provide five hundred soldiers per captain. This is due to war needs.

In Luoyang, even a marquis can only equip five hundred soldiers at most.

Twenty or thirty of them live directly in the house and provide round-the-clock protection. The other soldiers are shared soldiers and can be mobilized by whoever needs them.

In this way, it not only ensures safety, but also ensures that troops will not be wasted, and it also prevents some people with bad intentions from using personal soldiers to cause trouble.

"General, there are too many people. We can't accommodate them in our house..." Ma Biao scratched his head anxiously.

Every place in the house is planned, including the soldiers' accommodation area, the servants' accommodation area, the master's accommodation area, the work area, etc.

Twenty acres may seem like a lot, but it is impossible to build all of it into houses. There must also be a place for leisure and health care. After all, it is not too much to build a garden or something at home.

Now Zhang Buyi directly gave Ma Biao fifty places as personal soldiers, which made Ma Biao very anxious.

"It's okay. The Imperial Guard has recently ordered a batch of beds. You can just follow suit and order twenty or thirty beds. The place is still so big, so it will be no problem to accommodate these people." Zhang Buyi smiled calmly.

The Imperial Guard has encountered the same problem recently. As the country becomes stronger and the territory increases, Luoyang welcomes more and more people.

Please help, [app] allows you to steal book stamps like food. Come and steal your friends' book stamps to vote for my books.

Although the Imperial Guards originally had a large number of people, they are now under some pressure.

After all, city defense must be managed, patrols must be managed, and the defense of the imperial city must be taken care of even more.

But the place is so big and requires so many people, what should we do?

I could only find a solution elsewhere, so the bunk bed appeared.

It is also Datongpu. In the past, a bed was built directly with earth, similar to an earthen kang, but there was no fire hole underneath.

Now they are all made of wood and made into bunk beds, but they are still Datong bunks.

Twice as many people can live in the same place, and the problem of insufficient living space is solved instantly.

Ma Biao felt a little distressed, this was all money.

It doesn't matter whether he has a bed or not. What's important is that he has been given so many soldiers. Although he doesn't have to worry about his salary, he is not short of food.

But the benefits that should be given must still be given. Although even if they are not given, they would not dare to be lazy and slippery, but from a psychological point of view, it is better to treat them better so that you can feel more at ease.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ma Biao had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

"Well, General, I want to go home and bring my parents, wife and children..." It has been ten years since he left home, and so many things happened in the meantime. Ma Biao misses home all the time.

But I am burdened with responsibility and cannot go back.

Now that he has become successful, Ma Biao becomes even more homesick.

"Yes, when will you leave?" Zhang Buyi nodded and asked.

"I want to leave now..." Ma Biao was a little embarrassed, mainly because it was the Chinese New Year and everyone was reunited at home, but he was only in Luoyang with Wusun's wife and two children.

Although living in the inn is quite lively now, that kind of liveliness is not the liveliness he wants.

"Have the procedures been completed?" Zhang Buyi asked again.

"It was done yesterday..." Ma Biao nodded.

You need a road guide to go home. Although the current economic opening requires the flow of people, in order to be able to manage the flow of people, the imperial court still implemented a road guide system.

Of course, it is not difficult to apply for a road guide. You only need to go through the process and make a filing.

The easiest route is the business route, followed by the route to visit relatives.

Because Ma Biao has been granted a title, it will be a bit troublesome to deal with him, mainly because ordinary yamen cannot handle it.

If a person of this level wants to go home to visit relatives, it must be approved by the emperor.

Wang Buxu had already thought of this. After going to court yesterday, Peng Yue directly gave him a road guide, which was approved by the emperor himself.

Even as the closest person to the emperor, Zhang Buyi did not know when the emperor approved this road guide.

"Okay! Bring Lu Yin!" Zhang Buyi saw that Lu Yin had already taken care of it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He took the road guide from Ma Biao and looked at it carefully. He could confirm its authenticity with just one glance.

Then he copied it twice according to the road guide. He took out a seal from somewhere, and with a snap, these nine characters, Imperial Guard, General, Zhang Buyi, were printed on the copy that had just been copied.

The road leads down.

Then the two copies of the road guide were returned to Ma Biao, and one of them was kept for record.

"When you leave, you can go to any of the four main gates. Find the guard duty officer there to mobilize troops for you before leaving. If you can't find them, it doesn't matter. Your soldiers know where to mobilize troops. Let them take you.

Just go."

"In addition, you don't have to worry about the supplies on the road, and you don't need to bring too much. Everywhere you go, there will be people to entertain you, and they will be deducted from your salary in the end."

Zhang Buyi explained everything in detail, and Ma Biao kept nodding.

That is to say, he didn't know how to read, otherwise when he saw the number of people Zhang Buyi wrote on the transfer order, he would have cried to Zhang Buyi.

It wasn't until Ma Biao went to mobilize troops that he discovered that Zhang Buyi had actually mobilized a thousand men for him...

This scale is exactly what the Ministry of Rites said, the scale has doubled.

The food and drink for these thousand people in a month is three thousand shi of grain, and Ma Biao's salary for a year was spent in one month?

The problem is that his hometown is in Zhongwu County, Jiangxia County, which is far away from Luoyang...

Well, it’s only about seven hundred miles.

Zhongwu County is actually Xinyang in later generations, and one month is enough.

In the end, Ma Biao gritted his teeth and nodded in recognition.
Chapter completed!
